SVN + Subclipse + CFEclipse - Pick A Version

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH…
I got a new PC at work and I’m reinstalling everything. When it came time to install Eclipse - I decided to go back to 3.1 so I could run CFEclipse and FlexBuilder… Fine. Great.
BUT…
On my old machine I updated to Subversion 1.4 and at the time Subclipse didn’t work with [...]

Heroes Hiro A Coder

Saw this on Digg and thought it was cool in a geek sort of way. The actor who portrays the befuddled Japanese office worker Hiro on Heroes is a programmer for Industrial Light and Magic - working on films like The Perfect Storm, Star Wars: Episode II, Terminator 3 and the first two Pirates [...]

Ubuntu 6.10 ‘Edgy’

Windows Service Support for [...]

IE7 Zen Garden

I saw this post on Robert Scoble's blog and of course had to take a look.
Microsoft mocks up a CSS Zen Garden site... on MSDN... Duh. If IE7 actually was decent at CSS why didn't Microsoft simple add an actual submission to the real ZenGarden?? I'd have to say the whole thing [...]

View MS Access Files In Ubuntu

Speaking of Ubuntu - I was digging through the package manager and noticed "MDB Viewer".
I had several Access files from my old job that I could no longer open without cranking up Windows. With this program you can open, view, query and export data from Microsoft Access files. I [...]
